Ingredients
- 6 small portobello mushrooms
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon (4.2 g) dried thyme
- 2 dashes hot pepper sauce
- 1 small black avocado
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) sour cream
- 2 tablespoons (20 g) minced red onion
- salt
- 6 slices bacon
Method
- Start a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill
- Remove the stems from your portobellos (save them to slice and saute for omelets or to serve over steak!) and set the mushroom caps on a plate
- Measure the olive oil and crush one of the cloves of garlic into it; then stir in the thyme and the hot pepper sauce
- Using a brush, coat the portobello caps on both sides with the olive oil mixture
- Next, cut open the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop it into a small mixing bowl
- Mash it with a fork
- Stir in the sour cream, the onion, and the other clove of garlic, crushed
- Add salt to taste
- Now we have to get your bacon cooking
- Lay it on a microwave bacon rack or in a glass pie plate, and cook it on high for 6 minutes (times may vary a bit depending on the power of your microwave)
- While your bacon is cooking, go grill your mushrooms! Lay them on an oiled grill over well-ashed coals or over a gas grill set to medium to medium-low
- Grill for about 7 minutes per side or until done through, basting frequently with the olive oil mixture-you’ll also want a water bottle to put out flare-ups
- When your mushrooms are appealingly grilled, put them back on their plate and march them back to the kitchen
- Check your bacon; if its not crisp, give it another minute or two and then drain it
- Divide the avocado mixture between the mushrooms, piling it high in a picturesque fashion
- Crumble a slice of bacon over each stuffed mushroom and serve
